With users of the Plainville Wa-, ter Co. claiming that they are al- veady overcharged and with the company defending its request for an increased rato, this matter seems Uikely to engage the majer portion of attention at the town meeting to be held in the high school auditor- fum Monday night. At the inatiga- tion of the company, the selectmen included in the call for the meeting & proposal to appoint three men to meet three representatives of the water company with a view to fixing & new and highesr water rate, and this is causing more discussion about the town than the possibility of tax reduction.

During- the last few months the state highway department had a number of men working in Berlin on the new highway on Farmington avenue obtaining data from the own- ers of the property lining the new road. These men turned their in- formation over to the surveyors who spent a few weeks surveying the road to find the state lines. After their report had been made to the state department, blue prints were and accompanied the children on the plano. The following songs were “Morning Invitation,” by Love Song,” by "Swing Song,” by Lehr and “Chiribin,” by Pestalozzi.

There has been a general under- standing that there would be a cur- | tallment of the train service if the | stations en the Berlin branch were closed. According to the officlals of the New Haven road ne such move is planned, that the train service would remain the same as in the past. No further infermation was aavilable, Mrs, W. H.

The purchase price could be provided by & bond issue, it is said, since water bonds can be issued at any time regardless of the amount of the grand list.

In some cases the lines cut through stores about four fect. . A number of the property owners have become indignant over the line set by the state department and have made.an appeal to the high. way people. So far three of the owners -had filed notices of appeal with the department. It is cxpected that the state de- partment will compromise with the dissatisfied owners. Although the state officials would probably never bother the owners in regard to the state lines for years to come, the Berlin people do not wish to have thelr property under this oblign- tion. If any owner wished to sell his_property ho would encounter numerous difficultles. No nurchaser would want to huy a building that encroaches the state line over four feet. The owners fecl that these conditions are net fair to thom. Many of the buildings on Farm- ington avenue had been there for over 60 years. Farmington avenue was first recognized as a town road. Later the town contributed a certain amount to the state who in return kept the road in Yepairs. Finally ‘the state took over the read and es- tablished it as a state highway. The owners contend that there should have been some records at the town clerk’s offico from the state highway department to show where the state line runs through Farmington ave nue. There are no Yecords at the town clerk’s office to tell whether the highway is 80 or 60 feet wide. or anything conce=iing the matter in any way. Some of the present owners have purchased their property within the last ten years and they failed to sec Why their deeds should not stand now. One of the owners stated that he bought his property a few year: ago and two of the bost lawyers in this district transacted the deal for bim. If two men with high profes wional knowledge fail to wnearth the difficulty which he is undergeing at the present time, he feels that he is entitled to consideration from the state. b Although nothing definite has been done by the other property owners who are {aveived in the new state lne question, it has been stat- od that they are pr waiting to ses the results of the appeals made There will be a special meeting of 8t.

Old-Fashioned Dance An old-fashioped dance will be igiven at Lloyd’s hall on Friday, | March 16. The affair promises to be wvery successful and interesting, and a large crowd is expected to attend. All the old time dances that the old- cr folks remember so well will bg | revived. A prompter has been secur- ed to lead the dances. Music will be turnished by an orchestra composed of women which is a novelty in it- self. These affairs have always proved to be worthwhile and a pleasant sve- ning is assured all those who at- tend. All the old folks are warped to |take advantage of the time befween {now and the night ef the dance to | get back into form so that they can |show the present day children how the old timers danced in the geod old days. Large Crewd Present A large number of local young men attended the open house held last evening by the 8t. Paul T. A. B. soclety of Kensington in connection with its drive for @ew members.
